Review Yamaha C-40
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 23.5.2008




i brought it about 5 years ago from a music store. My dad wanted me to get into classical guitar instead of electric which i already had. I payed about 100 English Pounds for it.

 
 
  Features  
 
very easy to play, however, i think it would be better if it had a cut into body, so it is easy to reach those high frets,
Unfortunatly I cannot fit my acoustic pickup in its small soundhole, and therefore cannot gig with it.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
incredibally easy, like i said shut have an incut for more reachable frets
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
its fully sick
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
all those people saying thats its durablilty is just nullOKnull are wrong. Because I later fell ot with my dad and havent seen it since, I literally spent a day dragging it along pavements and hitting footballs with it. It has huge holes in it.
However, I got over the whole dad thing, and I have reccently renewed it. I scrubbed off all the writing, and along with that came the shiney laminate coating which looks alot better and feels smoother too. I glued it make together in places it had split, unfortunatly I have not replaced the missing brackets but oh well. It still sounds great, and I play it all the time.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
it shouldnt be in such a dark orange wood, it shud be light wood and not laminate, its too shiney

frome 3 years ago ?70 sounds of frome
got a gig bag

 
 
  Features  
 
great for playing songs such as stairway to heaven Led zeppelin good as a backing nice and smooth not so good for a solo or loud chords
also good for hotel california
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
amazing nice and smooth genarates a high amount of sound although a mic or amp may be needed at a live gig that is very busy or in recording
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
when you have new strings you need to do a lot of tuning but otherwise not really needing to be tuned that often good for a live gig i suppose ive leant it against a wall a few times and it has a small mark nothing that affects the playability dropped once nothing

amazing
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
incredible amazing anything is playable just as good as any ?2000 acoustic
small mark on top
leaning in wall

 
 
 
  Overall  
 
1 chose it because it was cheap but im glad i didnt spend a grand on it i may be getting an electric soon because its not great as a rock guitar well worth the money
